Tn this connection, 1 take pleas uro iu bearing testimony to tho nbil ity and fidelity with which the pres mit Commissioner has discharged the various and ditlieult duties ol his otlice.

Defects existing in the sys tem should bo carefully remedied by legislation, and by a judicious administration of details. COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE AND STATE GEOLOGIST.

This grave proceeding was characterized by the utmost good order, notwithstanding tho presence, in many places, of the military forces of the Government, sent thither to overawe tho weak and ignorant and to secure tlio elec lion of particular candidates. Tho question arises here : Shall the candidates fairly and legally elec ted by the people be placed in office, or shall persons rejected at tlie bal lot box be elevated to power? Shull law anil order prevail, or shall fraud and violence have the mastery V Shall the people of the United States choose their own rulers, or shall political clients and swindlers be permitted to perform Unit vital oiliee for them ?

What shall be done? What shall do? The motto of our noble State furnishes tho safe guide for our own action in this solemn emer gency : “Wisdom, Justice, Modern ution.” It is not for us to lead, or oven suggest, but to follow.
